PCS Sapphire
The Sapphire Team had a great week!
The Sapphire’s student
council secretary, Komal Khehra, has sent us information on what
happened this week:
We hope your week was awesome!
During the week we worked on holiday cards. The reason we did this is so
they can be mailed out to the military men and women who are in the hospital
injured or sick. We are sure they will be happy about the cards because
they can't spend Christmas with their families. We hope they will like
them and know we appreciate them very much.
Komal and the Sapphire Student Council
We are SO PROUD of our
student council members and for all of our students who worked so hard trying
to make the Holidays brighter for our military personnel.
Remember: Winter break is December 23 – January 3. Have a safe and restful time off!!
